My present invention Vhas reference to a smokers implement, andamongvthe objects of the invention is the provision of a trough for theholder of the-cigar orjcigarettein which the main body of the cigar orcigarette and the lighted end thereof are received, the saidI troughhaving an outer closed end, while there .is mounted for. slidablemovement on the trough a shield in the .nature of a smoke L deflectorwhich will prevent the smoke from a lighted cigar or cigarettecontacting with the eyes of the user, and which. with `the closed end ofthe trough affords a `tray for the ash of the lighted cigar or cigaretteand further wherein means` is provided for ejecting the butt end of acigaror cigarette from theholder as well as means, provided by the baseof the shield for holding thel article elevated when laid upon a supportas-well as for preventing the device from tilting when so arranged onthe support and thereby protect the supportl from the heated lportion ofthe trough. f A further object of the invention-@is the provision of asmokers implement of a simple andv cheaply manufactured construction,which may be readily associated withfthe mouthpiece for a cigar orcigarette holder, which will receive the ashes from the li hted cigarvor cigarette in a trough', prevent ying sparks from the said lighted end.of the cigar or cigarette inany directiomwhich will direct the smokeaway from the Vholder and consequently away from the eyes of the smokerfrom the trough of the improvement and whereby a cigar or cigarette maybe smoked in comfort by drivers or occupants of automobiles, in ahousehold without endangering j '40 the clothes of the person orarticles of furniture `from damage by lighted sparksgor by falling ashesand which also may be set down without spilling the ashes or scorchingthe surface upon which the device rests when the user makes-eitherpersonal or business calls. I

To the attainment ofthe foregoing the invention consists in theimprovement hereinafter described and denitely claimed.V

Figure 8 is a plan view of a trough `pro-V vided with minute aperturesbetweenl the .35 center and adjacent ribs or tintes. Preferably theimprovement is constructed Wholly of metal which is light in weight butwhich is strong. The cigar or cigarette holder, however, may be' of woodif desired, and .7 the combined length of the improvement whenassociated with the holder is only slightly in excess of the combinedlength of acigar or cigarette when arranged in a holder. Thusy thearticle is comparatively small in u on the line 7---7` ksize and may beconveniently carried inthe pocket of theuser.

The holder is indicatedin the drawing by the numeral l anclits smokeborecommunicates with4 the usual socket 2 for the butt end 8.0 ofthecigar or cigarette. In the present instance the.` holder isy formed`with a longitudinal slot or opening 3 that communicates with the socket2 and there is arranged over the holder for normally'closing the opening`3 ay sleeved. The sleeve is provided with a depending inger 5 thatpasses through the slot Band enters the socket 2. The socket is arrangedfor .longitudinal movement on vthe holder, and it will be apparentthatbymovt ing thesleeve outwardly the linger 5 will contact with thebutt end of the cigar `or cigarette to eject the same after thesaidcigar or cigarette has been sufficiently: smoked. VThe construction,however, is such that even the butt end of thecigar or cigarette may beconsumed. y Y l As the holder lis designed to be sustained in horizontalposition when in use and when resting upon a surface a portionthereofmay @"2 be properly referred to as the lower portion, and this lowerportion is designed to have passed thereover, and if desired, securedthereto the inner and open end of a metal trough 6 which is concavoconvex in cross section and which described one-half of a circle. Thesaid inner and open. end of the trough Vis formed .with a lip 7 againstwhich the rear end of the sleeve d contacts Awhen the sleeve is movedinwardly over the holder. rllhe sleeve has its -lower side portionsprovided with a depression for the passage of ward movement of thesleeve over the holder 1 is limited by the Contact 'of the fingere' Awiththe outerrend wall provided by the slot 3 and Vmay be likewiselimited by the engagement of the said end of the sleeve with-thelongitudinal depressions provided between ribs or flutes 8 on the outerportion ofthe trough. .The youter end of the trough iswidened and islclosed by an upstanding flange 9 which projects a suitable distanceabove the edges of the trough. If desired, and as disclosed byfFigure 3of the drawing the trough may have its bottom wall, to the oppositesides of its central rib or lute 8,'formed with spaced minute aperturesl0. These apertures are of such size to prevent the falling of .ash fromthe.- cigarette or cigar therethrough but. serve as airvents toinsurethe proper combustion of the cigar or cigarette. .The numeral 11designates the upwardly rounded or arched body of a smoke delectingplate or shield which .is centrally .provided with a round opening 12which is arranged .opposite theconcavedface of the trough.

Therbody plate 11 has depending sides 13 formed with inwardlyextendingxflat flanges '14 andthese ilanges project a suitable distancebeyond the body plate 11 and disposed below the trough. Inward-of theflanges the bottom-plate 15 for the deiiector is provided with apair ofspaced upstanding arms 16 which are rounded to form the same with what Iwill term hooks'17 that receive therein theupper edges of the trough 6,yand whereby the deflector may be moved longitudinally on the troughtoarrange the deilector opposite the lighted end of a cigar or cigarette18 as thevcigar or cigarette isbeing consumed. This is accomplished by apressure upon the base 15 by the user of the device. By reference toFigure 6 it will be noted that the base 15 lofthe smoke deflectorY is`in contact with the central outstanding portions K orv ribs provided bythe iiuted trough.

Theflutes 8Ihold the cigar or cigarette above the bottom and away fromthe side walls of the trough. Ash-dropped from the lighted cigar orcigarette will be received in the trough and prevented-from movementtherefrom by the end 9 of the trough and by thedeflector shieldell. Theflat baseof the from the cigarette being directed toward the eyes of theuser but also protects the user lfrom lighted sparks Ywhich mightotherwise A, iy from the cigar or cigarette when the dethe said rear endof the trough, and the out-VU vice is being used in the open air. Theimprovement in realityconverts a cigar or cigarette holder into a pipeas the lighted end Vof the cigaror cigarette is at all times 'confined-in thetrough between the upstanding and .widenedend9 thereofand thedeflector 11. With mydevice a cigar or cigarettemay be smoked in perfectcomfort either in closed articles of furniture, etc., which would resultindamage and possible conilagration as well as the fact that thedeflector will prevent the smoke from .beingi'directed toward the userseyes.

Havingdescribed the invention, I claim 1.=In anarticle for the purposeset forth, in combination rwith a cigar or cigarette holder having aslot communicating with the cigar or .cigarette receiving sockettherein,y .ofa sleevearranged for slidable. movement over the holder andhaving a depending finger that passes through the opening. and enters.the socket, a trough having an open end received through the sleeve,iixedonr the holder and havinga flange to be contacted. .by theinnerendof thesleeve when the sleeve is in one position, the upperv endvofthe trough ybeing closed and anarched smoke deflector mounted forslidable movement on the trough.
